Five papyrus fragments that do not belong together, housed in the same glass frame.
A: Left-hand portion of a light-brown papyrus sheet, complete at the foot, and worm-eaten on the other sides; with writing on both sides; on the front, there are the beginnings of two lines written across the fibres; upper, left and lower margins survive. On the back, there are three lines written along the fibres, the other way up in relation to the text on the front, followed by the beginning of a word.
B: Fragment of a medium-brown papyrus sheet, broken off on all sides; with writing on both sides, but it is difficult to tell what is recto and what is verso. On one side, there are two lines written across the fibres; on the other, there remains one word running along the fibres.
C: Fragment of a medium-to dark-brown papyrus sheet, complete on the right and broken off on all other sides; writing on one side. The back is blank. On the front, there are the ends of six lines running across the fibres. The right margin is minimal.
D: Fragment of a medium-brown papyrus sheet, complete on the sides, and broken off at the top and bottom; displaying surface damage. The writing runs on one side; the back is blank. On the front, there survive four lines, running along the fibres; side margins are minimal.
E: Fragment of a medium-brown papyrus sheet, badly damaged; the writing runs on one side along the fibres; the beginnings of seven lines survive. The back, in poor condition, displays some darker spots but apparently no writing.
